New Approaches to Career Counseling and Guidance. Report of K-12 Counseling Implementation Panel. Bulletin No. 93375.
Wisconsin State Dept. of Public Instruction, Madison.
The beginning of this report briefly describes recommendations made to restructure Wisconsin's kindergarten through grade 12 school guidance and counseling programs and to charge school counselors with the task of providing all youth with comprehensive career development. Four components were recommended by the Wisconsin K-12 Guidance Implementation Panel: (1) create a new career information and employment data system; (2) establish local Career Resource Information Centers to provide one stop shopping for youth and adults to access comprehensive career education and job training information based on a new career information and employment data system; (3) transform the role of school counselors to support students in career development; and (4) establish a coordinated social services referral system so that students receive effective help in crisis situations. Each of these four components is discussed in this report and, for each component, the rationale, list of key principles and activities for a Wisconsin Career Information and Employment Data System, and implementation strategies are provided. A number of relevant materials are appended, including a report of the Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills; the Wisconsin Student Assessment System; an appointment letter and list of panel members; the report "Status of School Counseling Programs: Implications for the School to Work Transition"; "Voices from School and Home" (a report); Wisconsin sources of labor market information; the current Wisconsin employment and training system (two charts); education, employment, and training programs; and the Level III Wisconsin Developmental Guidance Model.
